From Design to Installation: How to Ensure the Best Performance of Fire Pumps?

Many people buy fire pumps for the first time and don’t know how to choose a fire pump. They know very little about fire pumps and don’t know how to choose. So today, on the issue of fire pump selection, here is a explanation for everyone to help you better choose a more competitive fire pump.

Diesel engine fire pump is a kind of fire-fighting equipment that we often see and use in our life. The diesel engine fire pump has the characteristics of good starting performance, strong overload capacity, compact internal structure, convenient maintenance, simple operation and high degree of automation. It is a very reliable fire fighting equipment.

The electric fire pump is an important part of the fire water supply system. The electric fire pump consists of two parts, the motor and the pump. The pump and the motor are coaxial. The pump structure includes pump body, impeller, pump cover, mechanical seal and other components.

There are many types of fire pumps to deal with more fire water environments. Fire pumps are used in buildings, factories, storage and other places, and the performance requirements and quality requirements are different. The commonly used types of fire pumps are vertical electric fire pumps, diesel fire pumps, horizontal single-stage fire pumps, vertical single-stage/multiple Level fire pumps and horizontal double-suction fire pumps, etc., the specific head, flow and power are selected according to different projects.

The lifespan of a fire pump depends on factors like maintenance, usage, and environmental conditions. With proper maintenance, fire pumps can last for several decades.

A horizontal fire pump has its shaft aligned horizontally, making it suitable for installations with more floor space. A vertical fire pump, on the other hand, has a vertical shaft and is ideal for spaces with limited floor area but sufficient vertical space. The choice between horizontal and vertical configurations depends on the available space, system layout, and design preferences.

The double-suction fire pump has the characteristics of high lift and large flow, and is widely used in fire fighting. The impeller of this pump type is actually a combination of two back-to-back impellers, and the water flow from the impellers merges into a volute. The double-suction pump has the following characteristics: it is equivalent to two single-suction impellers of the same diameter working at the same time, and the flow rate can be doubled under the same outer diameter of the impeller; the pump casing is horizontally opened, which is convenient for inspection and maintenance. The inlet and outlet of the suction pump are in the same direction and perpendicular to the pump shaft, which is conducive to the arrangement and installation of the pump and the inlet and outlet pipes; the impeller structure of the double suction pump is symmetrical, there is no axial force, and the operation is relatively stable.

1. Visually inspect the fire pump for any signs of damage or leaks.

2. Check the oil level and add oil as necessary.
